Splunk identifies account permission elevation with the intent to cause harm. Protect assets before they are compromised or the final objective of the insider is achieved, focus on detecting lateral movement inside the organization.

With Splunk I have a centralized platform to address security and insider threats. If we can, we choose a platform over a technology solution so we can solve many problems and extend it to other business use cases and requirements.

Splunkbase enhances and extends the Splunk platform with a library of hundreds of apps and add-ons from Splunk, our partners and our community.

A good way to see how Splunk can be used to detect insiders and advanced attackers in your environment and many security use cases in your environment is by downloading the free trial of Splunk Enterprise and free Splunk Security Essentials app. Each use case includes sample data and actionable searches so you can see how to use in your environment.
